FRANKENSTEIN COVER

Coming to the end of Frankenstein now, so reckoned it was about time to get the finished cover done. The folks at Classical Comics really liked a pose i had used from a test page i did before i was actually hired for the project, and have used it for promotional purposes to date. I really wanted to do a new cover, as i think my drawing is at a better level now. Also, the monster drawn wasn't the finalized design so it was decided i should do a new cover, making it a reworking of the image they liked so much.

Very strong stuff Deckard. Excellent lighting throughout, with great, non-cheesy emotion playing accross the whole image. Definitely an improvement on the original, especially inks-wise. Can't wait to see the finished book!

Ah, thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. I'm glad the general consensus is a positive one. The last cover i did over my own work was Hero Killers, and that's a long time ago. Covers represent the body of work, and with a body of 123 pages, i really wanted this image to look good.

Rich, yeah send those pages on, i'd love a peek.

Thompson; yer dead right. Dammit, i wish i'd spotted that in the pencils, so i could have made it look MORE like an A-bomb blast.

Cheers Andy, hopefully it'll live up to expectations.

Thanks Moondog; you're telling me exactly what i was hoping to hear!

Alan, there's no actual date as yet. It's roughly scheduled for Sept/Oct. Prob won't have a better idea till closer to those months.
